Chapter 789
How could the container be empty?
Color drained from Mia’s face. Her voice trembled. “How could this be?”
Her heart sank to the pit of her stomach the moment she heard that.
“I will never make jokes about something this important, Mia. I checked thoroughly several times and even checked the delivery process with Peyton. Everything was done as planned. Seems like there was a problem before the container was dispatched from the hospital.”
There was a problem before the container was dispatched from the hospital?
In other words, someone did something to the bone marrow before that!
Taking deep breaths, Mia attempted to calm herself down. There was no room for mistakes right now.
Her hand ruffled through her hair. “There shouldn’t be any problem with the hospital. We already made the arrangements.”
She thought everything was going according to plan. When the bone marrow was delivered to Nicholas, Sage could undergo the treatment.
However, the container arriving at Nord City empty was not what she had expected!
Just who dared to lay a finger on the bone marrow that could save Sage?
“Mia, I called the person in charge from the hospital. He confirmed that the bone marrow was placed in the container. He doesn’t know why we received an empty one. Something must’ve gone wrong throughout the process. You have to go to the hospital in person to check it yourself.”
“Got it. I’ll go to the hospital to get to the bottom of it,” Mia said with determination.
“Mia, just a reminder–Sage is in the vacuum chamber. You have to get Timothy’s bone marrow as soon as possible. Otherwise, you know what will happen to Sage, don’t you?” Nicholas reminded Mia of the dire circumstances surrounding them.
She frowned. “I know. Don’t worry. I’ll get it back at all costs.”
She wouldn’t forgive whoever had stolen the bone marrow!
The call ended, and her hands were shaking.

She managed her expression before returning to the living room. “Sorry, I don’t think I can keep you company for lunch. Something came up and I have to go now.”
“What’s wrong, Mia? You look awful. Did something happen?” Patricia could see through her right away.
“It’s a long story. I gotta go now. I’ll explain everything to you one day,” Mia said hurriedly.
“Okay. Hurry on. Be safe.” Patricia didn’t pry further, but she was still worried.
It took everything in Mia to hold herself together. Leaving Patricia’s place was the first thing she had to do right now.
Once she got into the car, the air around her shifted.
She massaged her head, recalling the entirety of the situation. Nicholas was right.
Something had happened in that hospital.
Only one person could do something in the hospital–Timothy.
